Princess Leia To Apear In Star Wars Rebels!
Rebels is returning on January 20th with the premiere of the second half of season 2. But this time we can expect a major character to come into play this time around.
Dave Filoni has been teasing that more major characters from the Star Wars universe will be making appearances in Rebels and it looks like Princess Leia is one of them.
The show takes place before A New Hope so we can expect to see a much younger Princess Leia than from what we see in the film.
In the episode, the princess is sent to Lothal, I am suspecting to meet up with out main characters and possible team up with the rebellion. The voice will also not be provided by Carrie Fisher but will instead be voiced by Julie Dolan, who also played Leia in the mobile phone game Star Wars: Uprising.
“We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope,” Filoni says. “One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent.”
Unfortunately this will be Leia's only appearance in this season and it is unknown if she will return later on. We will have to wait to watch the episode to find out. The episode is named "A Princess in Lothal".
Star Wars Rebels returns on January 20th on DisneyXD.
